Title:

Watershed 27 daily stream discharge

Abstract:

Watershed 27 or Hard Luck Creek is a north-northeast facing reference catchment encompassing 96.5 acres (39ha) or .15080 sq. miles. The elevation ranges from 3380ft (1061m) at the weir to 4770ft (1454m). The average land slope is 54.7%, and the average channel slope is 33.2%. The channel is a total of 3894ft (1187m) long.
